Seen that you changed Hogg for Chapple good change as Chapple is more experianced and is a depth bowler that can bat so good change in my viewS_Harmison said:----------------------
Totesport National League 1:
Old Trafford
Lancashire Lightning Vs Glamorgan Dragons
-----------------------
Mark Chilton and Robert Croft met in the middle for the toss, which the Lancashire Lightning won after the call of tails. Chilton chose to field and when questioned about it this is what he had to say;
Mark Chilton: We feel confident that we can restrict the Dragons to a assailable total which we wouldn?t need to struggle too much to reach, also I wanted our seamers to have first use of a hard wicket and try and extract some bounce early on, I don?t think it will change much and it looks a good batting surface is anything, a score of 230-240 if definitely gettable here.
With some big hitters in their squad and some tasty bowlers Lancashire will be looking to get on top of the opening batsmen and get some early wickets however they wont be worried if they don?t as this pitch is very batsman friendly, the ball will be coming onto the bat nicely and the boundaries aren?t mammoth. Expect fireworks early on as Flintoff has been put in to bat at number 3 so as to maximise his power and give him some time at the crease. We have already seean what Chilton can do with the bat and Sutcliffe is handy at number two in One Dayers.

Play gets underway in half an hour, 15 over update coming soon.
